F15 ACTIVE Maiden Flight and crash

Maiden flight of Bob Bennett's RC F15 ACTIVE jet. Powered by a JetCat P160, the F15 ACTIVE was a NASA experimental aircraft built to test and develop STOL and vectored thrust. Creating this model was a major achievement, and whilst this flight did not end well, subsequent efforts developed through the use of a depron foam model to prove the aerodynamics have since been successfully completed, the plane repaired, and the next flight will be done soon!

Yes, quite repairable. Bob built a depron foam model to test the aerodynamics, and has now rebuilt the plane itself ready to fly again shortly. The flight was at Sale in Victoria, Australia.

Not sure if liking this clip is appropriate, never like to see any rc aircraft crash, on the plus side do u have a turbine for sale lol, only joking, looks quite repairable, where is your field, when was this video taken?
